Of Animals and Men | (70min; 2019; Polish with English subtitles)

Director: Lukasz Czajka

The key aim of every zoo is to protect animal species from extinction. In times of war, the most endangered species was the man. Under the Nazis' noses, about 300 people, mainly Jews, found shelter at the Warsaw Zoo during the Second World War. With the help of re-enacted scenes with animals, interviews with the survivors, and archive footage, we are going to revive the surreal atmosphere of those events
